Hello,

I have acquired a pair of Beovox S22 Speakers.  Having never owned anything B&O before, I didn't realise that they have a specific fitting on the back.  I have managed to find what I believe to be the the required cable here http://www.lifestyle-av.co.uk/details.asp?sectionId=4&productId=383 but I was wondering if I am able to connect these speakers to a regular amp?

Would be very grateful for any information you could shed on the situation!

Thanks,

Mike

Hi Mike. Welcome to Beoworld
Yes, these can be used on a non B&O amp, and I wouldn't worry too much about the kind of speaker wire.
Not sure which connections ar on the S22s, but I imagine it will be the fairly common 2 pin din available to screw or solder on from Maplins etc.
Do they look like THIS

Hi - thanks for the quick response and welcome.

I think they do look like this, yes.  I'm at work at the moment, so will check a bit more thoroughly when I get home, but I think they are the 2 pin din.  If it is any help I have attached a couple of photos of the back of the speakers that were sent to me.

Thanks for putting my mind at rest that there are solutions out there!  Had quite a panic when I opened up the box!

Yes they have a recessed 2pin DIN plug - you need a 2 pin socket and these are available in a variety of forms at Maplins. These are lovely littl;e speakers - much nicer than the later S25 as the S22 had the more expensive dome tweeter fitted. Very small but a good cabinet finish and very pleasant if lightweight sound. The ones on Beocentral are mine!

Thanks for the information Peter.  I'm going to pick up some of the 2 pindin cables from Maplin tonight.  

I'll keep you posted on how I get on!

Cheers,

Mike

Mike - the small/round leg on the DIN-plug is "plus"/positive (and the larger/flat one of course "minus"/negative).

Good luck!
